Officers decided that restorative justice was in order and took the teens to meet the pony, called Robin. They have offered to volunteer at the centre to apologise.

PC Nick Westmacott from the Gloucestershire police wildlife crime unit, said: “We completed a restorative justice resolution with the youth who threw the stone, and the one who filmed it.

“In line with the stable owner's wishes, the two youths have apologised for their actions and have now met the horse involved and have offered to give up their free time and volunteer to help out at the stables, to better understand the welfare of horses and the upset this has caused the stable owner."
